Editing Workflow Hacks

Use 'Split' Instead of Trimming

For quick cuts, place the playhead where you want to cut and tap 'Split'. It's much faster than dragging the ends of a clip for precise timing.

Master the 'Match Cut' Tool

When editing to music, use 'Match Cut' to automatically generate cuts on the beat. It saves a massive amount of time on music videos.

Copy & Paste Adjustments

Perfected your color grade on one clip? Don't do it again. Copy the clip, then use 'Paste adjustments' on other clips to maintain a consistent look instantly.

Audio Tricks

Extract Audio from Videos

Need a sound from another video? Use the 'Extracted' option in the Audio menu to pull the sound directly from any video in your gallery.

Auto-Captions for Dialogue

Don't type subtitles manually. Use the 'Auto-captions' feature to generate them from your video's audio in seconds. You can then edit for accuracy.

Use J-Cuts and L-Cuts

For smoother dialogue, detach the audio from your clip and extend it slightly under the next or previous clip. This audio overlap makes conversations feel more natural.

Visual Flair

Create a Fake 'Portrait Mode'

Duplicate your clip. On the top layer, use 'Remove background'. On the bottom layer, add a 'Gaussian blur' effect. Instant depth of field!

Animate with Keyframes

The small diamond icon is your best friend. Tap it to add a keyframe, move your clip or text, move the timeline, and move it again. Instant animation.

Use Adjustment Layers

Instead of adding effects to every single clip, add an 'Adjustment Layer' and apply your color grade or filter to that. It affects all the clips below it.

Exporting & Finishing

Increase Bitrate for Higher Quality

In the export menu, drag the 'Bitrate' slider to 'Higher'. This creates a larger file but significantly improves the visual quality, especially for 4K video.

Smart Sharpen for Clarity

Before exporting, add a subtle 'Sharpen' effect (around 10-15) from the Adjust menu. It makes your final video look much crisper and more professional.

Remove the Default Outro

CapCut adds a default ending clip to every project. Don't forget to select it and delete it before you export for a clean, professional finish.
